#260 - Paige's Perspective: How We Misuse Recovery Language (and What to Do Instead)

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this episode, Paige gets real about something she’s noticed in the healing and recovery space: the temptation to use growth language as a weapon. When we finally find words for our pain, it can feel powerful; but if we start using those words to shame, prove, or control others, we’ve missed the point. Paige unpacks what weaponizing content looks like, how it happens on both sides of addiction, and what healthy communication sounds like instead. Fi...

#259 - Separate the Behaviors from the Addiction

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! This week we’re taking a short break from recording and revisiting a powerful episodes from mid 2024, Separate the Behaviors from the Addiction. How much should you focus on the substance? To what degree is the substance responsible for someone's behavior? Is it easier to forgive someone's bad behavior because they're addicted?

#258 - Guys, Let's Start Talking

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! This one’s for both sides of the table - the person who’s sober but still hiding, and the partner who’s done begging for honesty. If you’re trying to rebuild, this is how we did it. If you’ve already walked away, this may remind you why you made that choice. I break down what it actually took to open up, how we both hold space for each other, and rebuilt trust from ashes - not illusion. In this episode I break down how I ventured into the great unkno...

#257 - Paige's Perspective: The Healing Swing No One Talks About

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this week’s Paige’s Perspective, I’m talking about something most people don’t discuss enough: the pendulum swing in healing. It’s that moment when you go from being quiet and careful to suddenly not caring what anyone thinks. You’ve spent years shrinking yourself to stay safe, so when your voice finally returns, it might come out louder, sharper, or stronger than you intended. You may question if you are the one being harmful. That doesn’t make y...

#252 - Paige's Perspective: When “Just Stay Positive” Stops Working

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, I’m breaking down the difference between toxic positivity and the power of pivoting. We’ll talk about how social media, family, and even traditional recovery spaces sometimes weaponize positivity to silence your pain, and how serenity has been mistaken for emotional shutdown. Then we’ll reframe it. Pivoting is about being honest and grounded — holding two truths at once: “This is hard, and I can handle it.” You’ll ...

#251 - Why “One Day at a Time” Isn’t What You Think

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! “What if” feeds anxiety. “Even if” builds a plan. In this episode we unpack what “one day at a time” actually looks like for both spouses and people in recovery. We break down how to use it as a call to action instead of a reason to wait it out. You’ll learn how to swap future-tripping for present-focused steps, set values-based boundaries, and stack micro wins that add up to real change. We also get honest about the ways this phrase gets misused in relati...

#249 - Paige's Perspective: You’re Not Overreacting: Why We Minimize Instead of Catastrophize

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! Many spouses believe they’re catastrophizing — blowing things out of proportion, imagining the worst — when in reality, they’re minimizing. In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, we explore how minimization shows up as a survival strategy, how addicted partners manipulate us into shrinking the truth, and how society reinforces it with messages like “at least he’s not hitting you” or “forgive and forget.” I’ll share real-life examples of what minimizing lo...

#248 - Is What They Say When They’re Drunk True?

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! You’ve probably heard the saying, “A drunk man's words are a sober man's thoughts” But is that really true? In this episode, we break down drunken honesty and get real about what alcohol does (and doesn’t) change. From the science of lowered inhibitions to the deeper beliefs and resentments that surface when the filter drops, we explore why it’s not just about what was said in the moment but about the patterns that reveal who someone really is. Most import...

#247 - Mindset Monday: Living Amends Aren't Enough

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this Mindset Monday, Matt tackles a listener’s question about “living amends” - why they’re often a cop-out in recovery and never enough to repair a relationship. He breaks down why true amends require naming the harm, validating the pain, and offering repair, and why skipping this step leaves partners carrying the past alone. From there, the episode shifts into a powerful conversation on acceptance and how it can serve as a spiritual foundation fo...

#246 - Paige's Perspective: Turning Guilt Into Growth

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! In this episode of Paige’s Perspective, we’re talking about the power of change and choices. How many times have you thought, “I’ve messed up. I’ll never change. I’ll never be enough”? Maybe it was after snapping at your kids, numbing out with your phone, or slipping back into an old pattern. One bad moment doesn’t define you. It’s what you choose to do next that matters. Neuroscience shows us that every time we make a new choice, our brains rewire to make...

#244 - Mindset Monday: The Myth of the “Good Dad”

Have an episode suggestion? Text us! We’ve all heard it: “At least he’s a good dad.” It sounds comforting, but it’s often a cover for hard truths. In this Mindset Monday, we dig deep into what fatherhood really means - and why showing up at games, birthday parties, or posting highlight-reel moments doesn’t make the cut. You cannot be a bad husband and a good dad. We break down the myths that underlying ideas and biases that keep this narrative alive - visibility bias, selective memory, social...
